Mark Wargo New2bs Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 What do folks think of the Emerson Traditional anvils made of 4140 steel? They are made down in Louisiana. Thanks. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I have no experience with them but note that they are somewhat thin at the heel (something that farriers want). They do NOT seem cheap to me... Centaur has a 150# at $960.00 (which is $6.40/pound). I just bought an old Peter Wright 151# for $300.00 ($2.00/pound). I would say that they seem typical of new farrier anvils to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyshackleford Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 unless it is zone hardened (ie a hard face and soft horn) I don't think I like the idea of an anvil that could be 38Rc (one site claims 38-50 RC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
